Portable speaker with orientation dependent equalization

Aspects include portable speakers and methods of controlling such speakers. In a particular implementation, a portable speaker includes a controller configured to control an audio output according to at least two different equilibrium distributions and in at least two different physical orientations, wherein the controller is configured to switch between two of the different equilibrium distributions in response to detecting a change in the physical orientation of the portable speaker between two of the different physical orientations, where the switch between the two different equilibrium distributions: a) is modified by a hysteresis factor, or b) smoothing according to a predefined pattern. 各个方面包括便携式扬声器和控制此类扬声器的方法。在特定具体实施中，一种便携式扬声器包括：控制器，该控制器被配置为根据至少两个不同均衡分布并且在至少两个不同物理取向上控制音频输出，其中该控制器被配置为响应于检测到该便携式扬声器的物理取向在该不同物理取向中的两个物理取向之间的改变而在该不同均衡分布中的两个均衡分布之间切换，其中该两个不同均衡分布之间的该切换：a)由滞后因子修饰，或者b)根据预定义的模式平滑化。
